Both women have been released from the hospital, a spokeswoman said this afternoon.

Bengtson was driving a Hyundai north on Claudette Drive and had the right-of-way. She told police she saw the second car, a Ford driven by Brian E. Burgess, 47, of 94 Prescott Road, Whitinsville, coming down Sidney Road. Burgess started to slow down approaching a stop sign on Sidney Road, but kept going through the intersection, officer Robert Bacchiocchi wrote in a crash report.

Burgess told police there was a problem with the brakes. He and three passengers in the Ford were not injured, according to the report.
